The NN Cybersec international youth school dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity has been launched at the North Caucasus Federal University, which will last until October 23, 2026. The events are held with the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 25-71-30007).

NN Cybersec International Youth School has brought together researchers, teachers and young scientists interested in the development of trusted artificial intelligence technologies and information security. 32 participants from various universities of Russia and abroad came to Stavropol, and in total more than 300 people participate in the school. The event is presented in both online and offline formats, and was organized by the North Caucasus Federal University.

– Leading scientists from all over the country will give lectures on advanced artificial intelligence and cybersecurity technologies. Participants will learn how modern AI algorithms and architectures are transforming science, business and society, and as part of the discussions we will explore what new threats the development of AI poses and how to effectively counter modern cyber threats," said Doctor of Physico–Mathematical Sciences, Head of the Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science named after Professor N.I.. Chervyakova NCFU Mikhail Babenko.

The key areas of the School were the security of autonomous artificial intelligence systems, the use of AI in industry, automated search for scientific sources, computer vision, document analysis, the security of artificial intelligence models, the security of multi-agent systems, modern cryptanalysis methods, trusted artificial intelligence, the security of cyber-physical systems, the protection and optimization of neural networks, distributed computing systems, user authentication and reliability of software systems.

Over the course of three days, participants will attend lectures from leading Russian and foreign experts. Speakers from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Orel, Simferopol, Maikop, Tomsk, Irkutsk, Taganrog, as well as from Korea, Iran and India will speak at NCFU. Special attention will be paid to practical aspects, from document analysis and data protection to the development of distributed application software packages.

The school will end on October 23 with a summing up and a round table dedicated to the use of AI technologies in education.
